Asia Gold Demand Steady As Buyers Await Bigger Dips, Riskier Investments Beckon

Physical gold demand was steady this week in most Asian centers as buyers hoped for further price dips amid growing appetite for riskier investments, while a slide in local rates failed to restore bullion's allure in India. Benchmark spot gold edged higher to around $1,277 an ounce on Friday, but was still trading near a 3-1/2-week low touched on Thursday amid a surge in U.S. equities.

"Demand picked up over the last couple of days in Singapore and most of southeast Asia as prices came off a bit. But for the week, there wasn't much change. Unless it goes close to $1,260 there won't be many new buyers coming in," said a Singapore-based dealer.

A lack of clear drivers kept prices between $1,265 and $1,300 an ounce throughout November, its narrowest monthly range in 12 years. In China, gold was sold at a premium of $5-$8 an ounce over benchmark rates, mostly unchanged from last week.
